T all whom it may conccm:

Be it known that we, Lotis Scrrs it and DOMZNIQUE Kins, citizens of the United States, residing t 20 Armour street, Chicago, in the county 01 Cools and State of lllinois, hove invented a new and useful improvement in Music-Cabinets, of which the followingis o specification.

Gur in vention relates to improvements in cabinets for holding music, drawings and the likeztrticles, in sheet form or phonogreph disk records, and the like; and our object is to prov de such s cabinet of a novel and improved construction rendering it'perticu-' end the like, each formed of :1 series ofcomends of swinging links 10, which at their r ends are pivoted at l i to the inner sides cabinet. g

n the door 3 is closed, the receptacle 5 rests s rear end upon it stop 12 and hangs at its i1 ward end from the pivots 8. As door is opened the top of the receptacle moveroith the upper part of the door and the body oi the ree'eptocle swin 's upon the links until the forward iieice or the receptecle contacts with the rear face of the door. The link connection prevents further movement of the ports and permits the door to be opened just fer enough to expose the open tops of all the compel znents When the sheets music, or t e are placed in e tinent they rest against the {on l the compartment, and the bookuwerneit of the l f. i the ceptecle, ssthe door c, keeps the receptcr i always in inc position which the sheets from m yer or curl- Specification of Letters l atent'.

ing or sagging, as would be apt to be the case if the compartments assumed a vertical position when the door is closed. To permit the swinging oi the receptacle .in and out of the cabinet as described, it is necessary that the top oi the receptacle shall incline in the backward direction. It is undesirable, however, tohave thcbaseof the receptacle incline in a manner to form an obtuse angle to the partitions 7 of the receptacle, because this would. tend to cause the sheets to slide beclo word -h eir lower edges and produce curling or beiniing of the sheets. In order that the rear compartments of the receptacles may be oi desired depth and the bases of the compertrnents at right-angles to the walls thereof, we provide the bases at different clev rations he form of steps as indicated.

The swinging connections of the receptacle are such that when the door is swung outward about half way, it will drop normally to its opened position and when swung upward about, ore little over half way, it will move normally closed position, the receptacle operating lock to hold the door and attendant ports either opened or closed.

The rece tacle 5 may be arranged to hold phonogrhp disk. records by, as is usuahhavmg the compartments. extend from front to back, that is to say at a rightangle to the compartments 6 shown.

While we prefer to construct our improvethroughout es described, they may of course variously modified in their details without departing from the spirit of our invention as lieiined by the claims.
